Yancy Derringer

CBS-TV Western series (1958-1959), set in New Orleans following the close of the Civil war. Many of the episodes, however, involved stories dealing with the American West. Ex-Confederate soldier-turned-cardsharp-and-adventurer, Jock Mahoney (Yancy Derringer) and his Indian companion, X Brands (Pahoo-Ka-Ta-Wah), encountered several gunslinging outlaws, and even crossed paths with Gen. George Armstrong Custer ("Longhair" episode, March 5, 1959). Guest-stars included Julie Adams, Claude Akins, Marie Windsor, Ray Danton, Gene Evans, Dick Foran, Nick Adams, Karen Sharpe, Charles Bronson, Lee Van Cleef and Jim Davis.
